Be it known ihai, i, erms-inn i a cii-izen of the ilniierl Si res, residing s: ihe cisy oi Brirlgep r", in count of Fairiielrl and State Connect-ions, have invented cereain nee ancl useiul improvements in Auxiliary l3reaihe1=ipe Asia-cl ments; and 1 (lo rieclare the following re he a lull, clear, and esacs rlescrigasicn oi invention, such as will enaiole oihers skilled in the artto which is agaperiains a} nraire and use the seine.

This invention relates to an aii-echnieni to the breather pipe of oil reservoir in an automobile, and in the naiiare of auxiliary breather earl oil filler gains, obiecs being so erevenithe s elashin or inoior fan wires, and the pares insicle ihe hoozl and. so rene replenishing oi' oil an easy matter WlL-Efilll; spilling.

in the accompanying drawing Figure l is an elevasie 1 showing my iniproveinent attached lo the ordinary breather pipe of an automobile oil rese1*.-*oir- Fig. 1-2 a vertical sectional elevation thereof, and

Fig. 3 a broken detail sectional View illustrating a modification in the manner of applying the improvement.

Similar numerals of reference denote like parts in the several. figures of the drawing,

in many automobiles, notably the Forci car, the breather pipe is so shortand is so located that it is extremely difficult i pour oil into said pipe wit-hour, spilling. Also, since the breather pipe is comparatively short ancl substantially vertical, the inovemenis of the gears in the crank casing, ancl the general motion of the automobile will cause the oil to splash up into the pipe and to exude out through the vented cap of the latter, and ehis oil is very apt to get onto the fan belt and the timing wires and to create a general condition of filth on all pares beneath the hood of the engine.

in order :0 oveicoine these defects the present invention provifies means applierl to the breather pipe whereby the splashing of the oil out or" the raiser is prevenwi, anal the oil replenishing operation is greatly simplified, the accompanyingillustration showing the invention equipnerl for applil ordi autecation to the breather rinse oi a Serial 55o. 2:

By providing a Wing nut insseaoi of t e nut 11, she tube me be readily swung our,- warelly so aiiforcl .even more convenience in the pouring or the oil by merely relaxing the nut, and after fillinggthe tube maybe swung inwardly unrl the nut tightened.

lhis SVJlVElGLl movement of the casing may likewise be cficcterl in other ways, one of which is shown at rluced per-lion 2 has an annular channel 12 formed iherein into which clriven set screws 13 through opposite sides of the giipe '2'. By merely relaxing these setscrews 13 casing and the tube may be reaelily turned as the manner above sec forth,

er o sneer end oi with a venierl cap pllifi so hreaeher What is claimed is 1. In a device of the character described, the combination with the breather pipe of the oil reservoir of an automobile, of a vertica'lly disposed hollow casing closed at the top and secured at the bottom to said pipe, and a tube extendingat an angle of approximately 45 from the side of said casing in communication therewith and with its outer end considerably above the top of said casing, said end being normally closed by a' disposed therein, of a hollow easing having 7 its top closed and provided with a central perforation, said casing having its lower end redneed in diameter and fitting snugly within said pipe, a rod having a, hook at its iower end which embraces said bolt While the upper end of said rod is threaded and extends through said perforation, a nut engaging the threaded portion of the rod outside the top of the casing and set firmiy against the latter whereby the casing is securely anchored to said pipe, and a breather tube leading at an angle of approximately 45 from the side of said casing to a piane considerably above the top of the casing and having its outer end provided with a detachable vented cap.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
